Storing Your Favorite Settings (Favorites)

The organ sound settings and ensemble sound settings for the three parts, along with the Layer and Split status, can be saved as a “favorite” in the VR-700’s internal memory.

The VR-700’s internal memory can store 64 favorites.

A set of these 64 favorites can also be backed up to USB memory (sold separately) connected to the USB MEMORY connector.

*Some parameters of Function mode are stored independently for each favorite. For details on the parameters stored for each favorite,

refer to “Parameter List” (p. 52).

Selecting a Favorite

When the VR-700 is shipped from the factory, the 64 favorites contain various sounds and settings.

Try selecting the factory-set favorites, and listen to their sounds.

1.Hold down the [BANK] button and press one of the [1]– [8] buttons to select a bank.

While you hold down the [BANK] button, the button corresponding to the currently selected bank will light.

2.Press one of the [1]–[8] buttons to select a favorite.

The selected button will light.

3.Play the keyboard and try out the sound.

If you’re selecting a different favorite within the same bank, there’s no need to re-specify the bank.

Saving the Current Settings as a Favorite

1.While holding down the [WRITE] button and [BANK] button, press one of the FAVORITE [1]–[8] buttons to specify the save-destination bank.

The display will indicate the number of the bank you specified.

You don’t need to specify the bank over again if you intend to save the Favorite in the current bank.

2.Hold down the [WRITE] button and press one of the FAVORITE [1]–[8] buttons to specify the save-destination favorite number.

The display will indicate the favorite number you specified, and the current settings will be saved as a favorite.
